The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1887-06-10
Bosros LETTER.

Boston, Mass, June ID, 1887.
Thinking that perhaps few lines from Bos-
ton might be Of interest to many Of your read
ers, and having few moments leisure from
my "arduous" duties meath the electric light
at two dozen dollars per week, thought I
would pen few lines for the PIONEER, which
comes to me regularly and is thoroughly pe-
rused' for the fact is that still feel deep in
terest in that fair country.
Everybody has heard of Boston, but there
are great many Western people who know
but little about it-one OF the richest, and
therefore grandest, cities on this continent, It
is city, dsurahvely speaking, located on hills
and i'll valleys. There would seem to be little
OF Its vast area comparatively level. In fact,
believe that were the ground inside the city
limits located within mile Of Hope, it would
to-day be passed by land hunters rs too WORTH
less to waste filing on, and would not be
FAR out OF the way in making tho assertion
that were the lands of all New England To-
Gated In some sections Of Dakota not dozen
filings would have been put on them up to
date
Editor UBrien, 1reland's great champion,
who was nearly mobbel at Toronto, lectured
IN the Boston theater last Sunday night to a
S2,OoO audience, which was the most enthusi-
astic gatherind ever witnessed in this city.
Mr.. OBrien was hanqueted at the Parker
House-whicl, by the way, is grand m ,rbIe
palace on tho corner of fremont and School
streots-by large number Of prominent gen.
Svhn fl,o ;v;, IL.
Butler, who made speech the principle Of
which was haranguo against tho Henry
George and DR.. McGlynn land theory, which,
by the way, is matter that Is receiving no
little attention by all classes OF people who
think in the West as well as tho East.
In my next will give an account OF the
Battle of Bunker Hill anniversary celebration
which occurs on tho l7th of juno.

appearance Of our town, and popular Ben
Woodward has coy little house in tho course
OF erection.

turer), is just as sweet rs ever.

SQuID, COUSIN OF PECk'S BAD Boy.
An Extra Session.
There seems to bc pretty good reason for the
persistent efforts now making 10 induce the
president to call an early session OF congress.
Putting aside the amendments to the inter state
as desirable, there isthe question Of unjust and
snorinons taxation Demanding imnisdiate at,
itsltili1 jim u ll.te.ial,s tact thas eer g.sss
accoinplishes little beyond organizing before
the holiday recess, and is IN such hurry to
adjourn before the Coming warm weather,
that 1t rushes through business toward the
close OF the session, neglecting TO give ade-
quate consideration to questions demanding
the closest attention. The government is now
collecting some $l0,0OO,OOOa 4 mouth in exce,,
OF Its expenses, and the treasury is already in
a plethoric condition. III the ordinary COURSE
OF things, before congress could consider the
matter, something like $50, OOO, 900 more would
be taken from tho pockets of the people aud
added to tho enormous surplus now existing,
An early session OF congress would result in
the subject being given the consideration it
deserves, and in the people receivin: the relief
that is theirs by right.--iSt. Paul G1o6e,
